Our stay at this inn was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that no detail had been overlooked. Every corner reflected the owners’ thoughtfulness and passion, from the beautifully curated decor to the warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. The design and ambiance were a perfect balance of comfort and charm, showcasing the love and care the owners poured into creating this space. It felt less like a hotel and more like a retreat where every element had a purpose and meaning. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It exceeded all of our expectations and I will absolutely be returning. For anyone looking for a stay that blends comfort, attention to detail and genuine hospitality, this inn is a perfect choice.

A very nice, clean property with nice amenities. There is a very nice outdoor pool. The property also has a nice spa and restaurant. We ate at the restaurant which had a nice atmosphere. The music was just a bit loud. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his dinner. My watermelon salad was delicious, but my clam spaghetti was way too salty. This property is not within walking distance to too much, but is within 15 mis of driving into Newburyport. We did play pickleball at the local tennis club.
